Reverse-Recommends
==================

Reverse-Depends
===============
* gcc-5-doc                     (for gcc-5-base)
* minica [s390x]                (for libgo7)
* nvidia-cuda-toolkit [amd64 ppc64el]  (for gcc-5)
* nvidia-cuda-toolkit [amd64 ppc64el]  (for g++-5)
* pluginhook [arm64 ppc64el s390x]  (for libgo7)

Packages without architectures listed are reverse-dependencies in: amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, ppc64el, s390x
$

gcc-5-doc is a misidentification. nvidia-cuda-toolkit are alternatives.
minica and pluginhook needed no-change rebuilds to use golang instead of
gccgo; I have uploaded these now.  So once they migrate, gcc-5 will have
no reverse-dependencies in the archive except for gcc-5-cross; so we
should drop both of these packages.
